A long overdue update

I cannot believe it has been over 2 months since the last time I posted.

Since then so much has happened,

I have started my new job, (going nicely thanks for asking).

I have a new car, (Nissan, also going nicely but costing me a fortune in insurance).

I know I am making excuses, but that is why I have not been around much lately. But fear now, I was always keeping an eye on what was going on around here :).

On the battle front, I see a lot of spammers have been doing their round, I have had a few reports of abuse and hopefully I have closed a few security holes, (those little devils are ingenious I must admit).

I have also removed some of the less tasteful posts from appearing on the front page, (the home page), this is just in case kids come and visit the site.

Well that’s all for now.

I’ll try and come up with more latter.

Is that why my latest post isn't showing??

It's a informative peice on the war on drugs...

What is so "tasteless" about that!

I demand it be put up immediately!

@poppedeye

Are you talking about http://www.journalhome.com/poppedeye/25172/?
If yes then the offending word is by “Another example of idiots...”.

I think you are misunderstanding what this is doing, your entry is not blocked or anything, neither is your journal blocked.

It is only for the purpose of the home page edition.

Is that not a good idea?

I can trim the list to be more forgiving I guess.
